Hey soccer fans, it’s me Avi, and I’M BACK! How is this World Cup treating you so far?! Let me tell you, our locker room is out of control. Now that we are starting to find out who’s in and who’s getting knocked out, everybody is trying to fight for points so they can win their brackets.

We have Argentines rooting for Argentina…boring. A lot of people going for the United States, also Mexico, and obviously Coach [Cabrera] is going for Colombia. Things now are really cool, with our brackets and with a pot we made. It’s like a draft kind of thing, where you pick numbers on who’s going to go first in the draft and then you get to pick one team and it goes from there. So each player has four teams and mine are: Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and South Korea, so any time they beat I get three points and if they tie, I get one point, and the winner takes the pot, so now you know who to support! Me and Carlos Alvarez are tied with points, so every single day, he comes trying to count his points and figuring out who’s winning and what not… poor guy, helpless…

Also, right now there are A LOT of upset people around! I shouldn’t say one team in particular, today, but you all know who went down today… [cough] Spain [cough]. Our team’s PR manager is from Spain, so she’s a little bit mad today and doesn’t let me talk about it… haha. Everyone is kinda shocked in this World Cup because someone is always coming out of nowhere, like Chile! HELLO! They just opened the door like “hey, you know, we are heeeere!”

A bunch of the guys and I are also checking out a few viewing parties around the area. We went to watch the US game the other day and it was really cool. Bobby [Burling] even painted his face red, white and blue. And then he lifted up his shirt and he had the big U, and his other friends had the S and the A, and I was like “Pal, you’re going craaaaazy!” So patriotic!
